Watch David Lynch's “Eraserhead” from a toilet seat. Stare up at romantic classics such as “Dr. Zhivago” – or the treacly “Love Story” – while reclined on a red chaise.

Included in the price of admission (about $10) is the chance to have your picture superimposed into such movies as “The Matrix.” And there is gorgeous architecture, luminous lighting and six floors of historical, visual innovations from shadow puppets to Sophia Loren.

Lavinia Farnesi of Milan is a film buff who loves almost everything about the museum.

How about the toilet seats?

Long pause.

“Strange,” she replies.

Wok and roll

German Georg Hackl is replacing his luge with a wok.

The five-time Olympic medalist, who retired Sunday, said he wants to take a break, drink some beer at his local bowling alley and defend his title in wok racing.

“You know the world championships in Chinese wok sliding?” Hackl said. “Every year there is a wok sliding championship. I am two-time world champion.”

Designed by German entertainer and comedian Stefan Raab, the event puts sliders on modified woks that traverse a bobsled track. Raab won the inaugural World Wok Racing Championships in 2003, then lost the next two to Hackl, who goes for a three-peat in Innsbruck next month.

Don't feed the pandas

Carlsbad's Shaun White, fresh off winning the halfpipe, says he won't start endorsing a bunch of new products. He'll endorse only what he believes in.

“If you don't say no,” he said, “you eventually wind up in a panda suit saying, 'Buy This.'”

Parting shot

“He is flamboyant, he is funny, and, yes, he admits he is feminine. So what? Makeup, mascara and all, Johnny Weir is the new face of United States figure skating. And once those of you who need to get over yourself do, you're going to think he's terrific.”
